Imagine trekking back to your favorite trout fishing hole and finding a trotline and a couple of weirs mucking up the spot. You’d be ticked, to put it mildly. An intrusion, yep, but it’s also not appropriate to stick that kind of gear in a trout stream. Read More...

The federal government is restoring habitat at a wildlife refuge in Ocean County displaced, ironically enough, by a former state game farm once dedicated to raising wild birds.

The state sold the property to the federal government for $3.4 million to expand the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge after the game farm closed in 1985.

Home, hearth and toddies? This is the time of year to be hunkered in the den with a dancing fire, a shooter or two and football on the telly. For those addled sports who can’t enjoy these simple (and warm) pleasures there is ice fishing, small game and shotgun permit seasons, or if you’re really nuts to get out of the house: cod fishing. Not with a gun to my head will I board a party boat this time of year, heated rails or not. I would go if the mackerel were hot and heavy, but the trawlers pretty much gobbled them up already and a ride to the Canyon in mid-winter is about as appealing as root canal. Read More...
